The Supporting Female Character's Guide to Turning Her Fate Around

[Story Complete]

After screenwriter Zhong Yan dies from overwork, she discovers that she has been reborn as the fake heiress and villainess in a sweet romance drama set in the entertainment industry.

In the story, the original owner is a pawn in a marriage alliance. From childhood, she has lived only to please her fiance, but the male lead has always treated her like trash and falls in love with the real heiress, the female lead.

In the end, the leads find their happily ever after, while the original owner is despised by everyone, abandoned by her family, and dies by suicide alone.

Zhong Yan thinks: One piece of bad news, and one piece of good news.

The bad news is that she has become the villainess with the worst character setup and the most tragic ending.

The good news is that the villainess is rich and beautiful. She has the makings of a winner in life!

With all these advantages, why care about those damn leads? Why love some damn man?

Zhong Yan only wants to love herself, be a beautiful, wealthy woman who does whatever she wants, and be the sole star of her own life.

When the girl group competition show Best Girls begins filming, everyone thinks Zhong Yan is just an ordinary contestant with nothing going for her: no agency, no connections, no buzz.

Aside from her good looks, there is nothing special about her. She is sure to be an early-elimination extra.

Then the show airs, and netizens unmask Zhong Yan's secret identity...

Book fans: "Am I going crazy, or is the whole world going crazy? I can't believe I've found a web fiction powerhouse on a talent show!"

Drama fans: "She's the screenwriter of that smash hit? Sob, Teacher is the only breath of fresh air among all those terrible dramas, a shining light saving Chinese television!"

Passersby: "Two master's degrees from a top university?! After seeing so many uneducated people in entertainment, it's rare to meet a true academic!"

Show fans: "An all-around ACE who can sing and dance! A true rising star who descended upon the entertainment industry! A paradise for fans of the strong, a wonderland for career fans. Investing in her is a sure win, a sure win! Whether you're a book fan, a drama fan, a passerby, or a show fan, we're all here today for the same goal: to send Zhong Yan to center position!"

Just then, someone else comes forward with a scoop.

An industry insider: "Zhong Yan's connections are even more impressive than you imagine. She's the future wife of the owner of a certain entertainment group, and the fiancee of a certain CEO."

An entertainment gossip paparazzo: "A certain top-tier star was personally made famous by Zhong Yan. He's been secretly in love with her for ages."

A film and television producer: "Everything above is fake news. The only real scoop is that I'm the man ranked number one in Teacher Zhong's heart!"

Zhong Yan responds:

"The first one? We broke off the engagement. He keeps throwing himself at me, but I want nothing to do with him."

"The second one? I felt sorry for him and gave him a helping hand. I didn't expect him to become so devoted to me."

"The third one? Well, that's the real scoop. You're the only little brother in Big Sis's heart."

From universally disliked to universally adored.
